SDI claim extension submitted months ago, no updates or payments since. Help!

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been in the same boat for what feels like forever. Have you tried calling them? It's a nightmare to get through, but sometimes it's the only way to get answers.

I had a similar issue last year. Turns out they 'lost' my paperwork. Keep calling and don't give up! Also, try reaching out to your local representative. They can sometimes help speed things up.

This is why the system is so messed up. They make it impossible to get help when you need it most. I swear they do this on purpose to discourage people from claiming benefits. 🤬

Hey, I found a method to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and any correspondence you receive. 2. Send a written request for a status update via certified mail. This creates a paper trail. 3. Contact your state representative or senator. They often have liaisons who can intervene on your behalf. 4. If you're facing financial hardship due to the delay, make sure to mention this in your communications. Sometimes this can expedite the process. 5. Consider filing a complaint with the state insurance commissioner if the delay is excessive. 6. Join online forums or Facebook groups dedicated to disability claims. Sometimes you can get insider tips from people who've been through the process. 7. If all else fails, consult with a disability attorney. Many offer free consultations. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up!

have u checked ur online account? sometimes they update stuff there b4 sending mail

Not to be that person, but are you sure your doctor actually submitted the extension? I thought mine had, but it turned out there was a miscommunication and they never sent it in. Might be worth double-checking!
